Nick Candy has hired former Chelsea forward Gianluca Vialli to advise on his 'looming offer' to buy the west London club.
That's according to Sky News, who say that Tifosy Capital & Advisory, a company set up by Vialli and a group of financiers, is now working with Candy ahead of Friday's deadline for offers to buy Chelsea.
Vialli represented the Blues as a player between 1996 and 1999, with part of that as player/manager. The now 57-year-old Italian managed Chelsea from 1998 until 2000 before being replaced by fellow countryman Claudio Ranieri.
